In this study, ultrafiltration (UF) pre-oxidation with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was employed aiming to mitigate membrane fouling during algae-laden water treatment. It was found that BDD anodizing can efficiently alleviate membrane fouling regardless of the filtration membrane material when the oxidation time was over 30 min. This was ...
The depolymerization of biomass carbohydrate polymers usually happened in homogeneous medium, just a few in heterogeneous solution. Herein, holocellulose from two Chinese herb residues Cortex albiziae (HRCA) and Heteropogon contortus (HRHC) was prepared and characterized. Deep eutectic solvent (DES) of choline chloride/p-coumaric acid collaborating...

With the growth of anaerobic digestion (AD) for biogas production, associated increasing digestate production may cause environmental problems if the increasing agricultural land required for digestate application is limited. An alternative is to valorise the digestate. Microwave assisted low-temperature hydrothermal treatment (MLHT; temperature 10...

In this work, spent sulfite liquor (SSL) was used to produce butanol after two-levels of inhibitors removal. SSL component analysis was conducted, and the results showed that SSL contained a large proportion of pentose, hexose, lignosulfonates and other inhibitors. Based on the integrated biorefinery concept, three utilization routes were proposed ...

Reduction in the adsorption of cellulase onto lignin has been thought to be the common reason for the improvement of enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose (EHLC) by a nonionic surfactant (NIS). Few research studies have focused on the relationship between lignocellulosic features and NIS for improving EHLC. This study investigated the impact of Tw...

The periodic low-frequency force can improve mixing efficiency and reduce water constraint, thus intensifying the high solids enzymatic hydrolysis. However, the availability of intensification methods for the periodic force with different frequencies needs to be studied. The periodic high-frequency vibration with rigid spheres added as another inte...
